Get set up

Gather the required materials: Phones or cameras and a prepared list. Set them out before explaining the first round.

LET’S PLAY

Here’s how it works.

  1. Prepare a list of photo tasks.
  2. Divide players into teams and explain the play boundary.
  3. Set a return time.
  4. Teams capture each prompt without disrupting other people or locations.
  5. Regroup and review completed prompts.

A few ground rules

Keep the agreed turn order, boundaries and timing consistent for everyone. Players may pass or use an accessibility adaptation without penalty.

Mix it up

Use funny poses, color hunts, landmarks or no-face object-only prompts.

Make it a great round

Choose prompts that can be completed quickly without long travel.

Keep everyone comfortable

Photograph people only with permission and never require posting images online.
